Self-guided campus tours

We are delighted to re-introduce self-guided campus tours of our beautiful Whiteknights campus from Friday 23 July.

The tours will provide an excellent opportunity to explore our award-winning campus environment and experience a little of what life is like at the University. You will be directed around campus by our intuitive audio guide, which is downloadable before your visit. Further information including how to download your tour and how to reach us will follow shortly after booking.

With the health and wellbeing of you and our student and staff community in mind, the tours will only be outdoors. However, visitors will be able to access open catering facilities as well as designated toilet and hand-washing facilities. 

Book your self-guided tour.

The Institute of Education (IoE) and our School of Architecture are both situated at our London Road campus, which has recently undergone a £21m transformation to provide superb purpose-built facilities.

Unfortunately our London Road campus is not accepting bookings for self-guided tours. Please feel free to take a virtual tour to explore the fantastic facilities on offer, or chat to our students about studying at this historic campus.

Explore our campuses, chat to staff and students, and see if Reading is the right university for you.

Visit our Open Days page to find out more.

If you are a teacher or group leader and would like to book a campus tour, please contact the Global Recruitment Team (UK Student Recruitment & Outreach).

We also welcome parents and supporters to visit our campus with or without their young person but we also run some bespoke virtual activity specifically for parents.  Sign up here to receive our parents’ and supporters’ newsletter and be first to hear about our parents’ and supporters’ virtual events.

Our campus tours are quite undergraduate-focused but can still be beneficial if you wish to get a general feel for the University. For more information on general postgraduate events as well as department-specific events we recommend you visit our postgraduate events page.
